Look for a break in the diagonal lines. A broken line indicates clogged nozzles. If the bottom line has fewer breaks, or better print quality than the top line, the quality is improving so run the cleaning two more times. If the print quality is satisfactory after running the cleaning three times, the ink nozzles are clean. You do not have to complete the remaining steps. If the print quality of both lines is not satisfactory after running the head cleaning three times, the ink on the cartridge nozzles may be dry. Removing and reinstalling the ink cartridges may solve the problem. MFC SETUP AND CONNECTIONS 2 -15
